20 Examples of Physical and Chemical Changes

Physical changes involve a change in the form or appearance of a substance, but the chemical makeup of the substance remains unchanged. Chemical changes, on the other hand, involve a change in the chemical makeup of a substance and the formation of new substances. Chemical changes are often accompanied by visible changes, such as the production of heat or light, the formation of a gas or solid, or a change in color. Physical Properties of Matter bring change only on the effect of physical properties and chemical changes will affect both chemical and physical properties as well. we can see plenty of examples in our surroundings. however, 20 Examples of Physical and Chemical Changes are given Below:
